5500-562 Woodward overspeed protector

The 5500-562 is a microprocessor-based digital governor controller produced by Woodward, belonging to its classic 505 series.
It is primarily designed for speed control and protection of steam turbines. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

I. Product Overview

Brand and Model: Woodward 5500-562
Series: 505 Series Digital Governor
Type: Microprocessor-based controller
Purpose: Specifically designed for steam turbines to control their speed and provide overspeed protection.

II. Core Functions

Speed Control:
- 5500-562 Precisely controls the speed of steam turbines by adjusting steam inlet flow.
- Supports single-range or split-range actuators to accommodate turbines of different sizes.
Overspeed Protection:
- Incorporates triple independent overspeed protection logic to ensure rapid shutdown in case of overspeed, preventing equipment damage.
- Provides an overspeed test button for convenient on-site testing of protection functions.
Emergency Shutdown:
- Equipped with an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.
System Protection:
- - Automatically switches control modes upon sensor failure to ensure uninterrupted system operation.
  - Offers local/remote control priority selection to adapt to different operational scenarios.

Microcontrollers are typically low-energy devices. The power plug of a desktop computer is almost always plugged into a wall socket,

with a power output of approximately 50 watts. The power of a battery powered microcontroller is approximately 0.05 watts.

Microcontrollers have a dedicated input device and typically (but not always) a light-emitting diode or liquid crystal display screen used as an

output. The microcontroller also obtains input signals from the devices it controls and controls the device by sending signals to different parts of the device.

For example, the microcontroller in a television receives input signals from a remote control and displays them on the screen. The microcontroller

controls the channel selector, speakers, and electronic adjustments such as color and brightness of the cathode ray tube. The engine controller in a

car receives input signals from sensors such as oxygen and detonation, and controls fuel mixing and spark plug timing. The microwave oven controller

obtains input signals from the operation keyboard, displays outputs on the LCD screen, and controls the relay responsible for the microwave generator switch.

Microcontrollers typically have the characteristics of being compact and low-cost. The selection of each component adheres to the principle of minimizing volume and cost.
